Uniquities

• I have three best friends. They all live further than 2 hours away from me and none of them know each other.
• When I was born, my grandpa was dying from lung cancer. We would visit him in the hospital; which is consequently where I learned to walk, and I would cuddle with him on his lap. I was his 'angel sent from heaven to replace him.'
• I have 2 brothers and 4 sisters. None of them are biological. (I also have 3 other mothers.)
  
• My mother dropped me on my head when I was a baby.
• I have eight piercings and only 5 are immediately visible.
• I love cowboys and I think that a flannel button up shirt, nice fitting jeans and a cowboy hat are the sexiest things in the world.
• My family thought I was going to be a veterinarian when I was little because other than snakes, I have never found an animal I didn't love.
  

John 17: 13-16

"I could say," her mother went on, "that living among the hakujin has tainted you, made your soul impure, Hatsue. This lack of purity envelopes you- I see it everyday. You carry it with you always. It is like a mist surrounding your soul, and it haunts your face like a shadow at moments when you do not protect it well. I see it in your eagerness to leave here and walk in the woods in the afternoon. I cannot translate all of this easily, excepts as the impurity that comes with living each day among the white people. I am not asking you to shun them entirely- this you should not do. You must live in this world, of course you must, and this world is the world of the hakujin - you must learn to live in it, you must go to school. But don't allow living among the hakujin to become living intertwined with them. Your soul will decay. Something fundamental will rot and go sour. You are eighteen, you are grown now- I can't walk with you where you are going anymore. You walk alone soon, Hatsue. I hope you will carry your purity with you always and remember the truth of who you are."

The difference between 18 and 19

There's a whole lot more than one number inbetween 18 and 19...

• I enjoy it when my daddy calls me kiddo and my mommy calls me pumpkin. I'm proud to refer to my parents as 'daddy' and 'mommy'. Not everyone had as good of parents as I did, and I'm starting to realize that.
• My legs no longer bend quite as easily and in quite the angle that they used to.
• I have joined the four-eyed species.
• A boyfriend changed from an accessory to a life-time commitment.

And the biggest thing:

My little sister and I were watching Harry Potter the other day and this is how the conversation went.

Annie- "Ron is really cute. He might have to retire soon though, he's getting old, like you!"

Music tells a lot about someone. It's like a gateway into a person's soul. Anything can be said in words, but music tells so much more. It shows how that person is feeling at that exact moment in time.

I like learning about people through their favourite songs. It tells me a lot about who they really are. It shows me what they crave, what they value... It gives me a little piece of their unique soul.

My favourite alltime songs are:

Name - Goo goo dolls

and

Somewhere in between - Lifehouse.

What are yours?

It's just funny

It's funny that as you grow up the things you used to find stuffy and boring suddenly become enticing.
Like bubble baths in the middle of the day...
...and Amanda Marshall songs

And driving past a specific road sign brings back memories you forgot you had made.
Like fluffy blue cloud shapes...
...and laundry chutes

And the food that made you puke as a kid becomes something you can't get enough of.
Like avacadoes...
...and sun-dried tomato salmon

And dreams that seemed so down-to-earth and old fashioned become something you crave.
Like life insurance...
...and someone to count on til death do you part.

The more I drink, the more I drink

"You see every drink of liquor you take kills a thousand brain cells. Now that doesn't much matter 'cos we got billions more. And first the sadness cells die so you smile real big. And then the quiet cells go so you just say everything real loud for no reason at all. That'ok, that's ok because the stupid cells go next, so everything you say is real smart. And finally, come the memory cells. These are tough sons of bitches to kill."
